In 2010, Dr. Serravalle decided to pursue her Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). The degree offered advanced training in Psychological Evaluation. Dr. Serravalle fell in love with the science and the unique way that the evaluation process can demonstrate clinical certainty for diagnosis. Her practicum, internship and postdoc allowed her to study under a board certified neuropsychologist and a board certified school psychologists, offering a wealth of information about how these environments and systems can play a role in clinical work.

The Center for Balanced Living manifested as a result of wanting to create a space that would incorporate Dr. Serravalle's passion for quality care, therapy and assessment, as well as giving back to a community of providers who seek to grow their practices with evidenced based practice as well as emerging practices.
